7
8 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
9 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
10 the availabilty of a default loop!
11 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
12 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
13 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
14 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
15 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
16 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
17 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
18
195.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
20 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
21 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
22 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
23 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
24 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
25 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
26 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
27 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
28 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
29 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
30 as part of the perl core.
31 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
32 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
33 minimal perl...).
34
355.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
36 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
37 actually used in tcp_server.
38 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
39 missing.
40 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
41 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
42 resulting in more informative error messages.
43 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
44 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
45 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
46 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
47 of AnyEvent::TLS.
48 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
49 requested by Ron Isaacson.
50 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
51 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
52 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
53 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
54 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
55
565.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
57 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
58
595.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
60 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
61 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
62 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
63 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
64 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
65 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
66 - better/more condvar examples.
67
685.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
69 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
70 time (found by Andy Grundman).
71
725.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
73 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
74 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
75 by Bas Denissen).
76 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
77 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
78 EV and Perl backends.
79 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
80 backends.
81 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
82 never documented nor universally supported).
83 - some more memory µ-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
84 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
85
865.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
87 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
88 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
89 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
90
915.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
92 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
93 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
94 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
95 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
96 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
97 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
98 by lucky accident on win32.
99 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
100 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
101 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
102 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
103 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
104 detection and eval.
105 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
106 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
107 (same algorithm as EV).
108 - update unicode idna mapping table.
109
1105.24 Tue Jan 5 11:39:43 CET 2010
111 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
112 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
113 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
114 - improve idle watcher documentation slightly.
115
1165.23 Sun Dec 20 23:48:00 CET 2009
117 - support IDNs in resolve_sockaddr, and therefore in tcp_connect.
118 - implement punycode_encode/decode, idn_nameprep,
119 idn_to_ascii and idn_to_unicode operations in AnyEvent::Util.
120 - provide $AE::VERSION.
121 - removed traces of "no strict 'refs'".
122
1235.22 Sat Dec 5 03:51:13 CET 2009
124 - downgrade-or-fail in AnyEvent::Handle::push_write, to
125 diagnose encoding failures earlier and more succinctly.
126 (this works around bugs in perl, throwing away encoding info
127 when passing scalar data to extensions).
128 - add more examples to AnyEvent::Socket manpage.
129 - upgrade internal warning set to the same as common::sense 2.03.
130 - use pack "n/a*" for pre-5.8.9 perl compatibility in AnyEvent::DNS
131 (John Beppu).
132 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton now properly supports ipv6, as documented.
133 - add google public dns servers to fallback server set and make sure
134 we load-balance properly between the three sets. also add all
135 fallback dns servers, not just a random one, to each dns config.
136
1375.21 Thu Nov 19 02:48:47 CET 2009
138 - fix a problem where socket constants were called with parameters
139 (spotted by David Friedland).
140 - fork_call never use'd POSIX (reported by Daisuke Maki).
141 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility further (but it still won't work
142 unless you rip out everything but the core).
143 - prefer Net::DNS::Resolver over ipconfig, if installed, on win32.
144 uses 10MB of RAM, but doesn't open a console window. *sigh*.
145
1465.202 Wed Oct 14 22:35:44 CEST 2009
147 - AnyEvent::DNS would unexpectedly clobber $_ under windows
148 (analysed by Matthias Waldorf).
149 - AnyEvent::Handle::run_cmd can now pass the PID of the
150 newly-created process, which is much less useful than it might
151 sound (based on patch by Yann Kerherve).
152
1535.201 Tue Sep 29 12:09:25 CEST 2009
154 - AnyEvent:Handle::on_starttls/on_stoptls methods were broken
155 (reported by Torsten Foertsch).
156 - common::sense 2.0 could cause tcp_server to throw an exception
157 (analysed by elmex).
158
1595.2 Mon Sep 14 07:04:49 CEST 2009
160 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: do no longer support register_read_type
161 and register_write_type in AnyEvent::Handle, instead support
162 package names (the facility was mostly abused).
163 - implement "packagename-as-read/write type" support in
164 AnyEvent::Handle.
165 - AnyEvent::Handle: new options "keepalive" and "oobinline".
166 - oobinline set by default to avoid security issues.
167 - the pure-perl event loop backend wrongly detected times() fallback
168 support (spotted by Pavel Boldin).
169
1705.12 Tue Sep 1 20:26:50 CEST 2009
171 - be more lenient when parsing resolv.conf files, as some people
172 use hashmarks as comment indicator inside directives (reported
173 by Michael S. Fischer).
174 - use same set of warnings as common::sense 2.0.
175 - fix a potential 32 bit overflow issue due to perl having problems
176 with large hex constants in the Perl backend.
177 - do not use the slower 5.6 version fo the enc_name code in AnyEvent::DNS
178 by default.
179 - fix some prototypes.
180 - (optionally) require Async::Interrupt 1.02.
181 - replace opendns fallbacks by verizon/level3 public dns servers.
182
1835.112 Fri Aug 21 13:59:04 CEST 2009
184 - AnyEvent::Handle could cause hard crashes in Net::SSLeay when
185 using starttls with an illegal/uncreatable tls context.
186 - port to broken win32 perls.
187
1885.111 Sun Aug 16 18:44:36 CEST 2009
189 - perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the
190 kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding
191 sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses
192 the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other
193 OSes as well).
194
1955.11 Wed Aug 12 17:49:37 CEST 2009
196 - fixed a bug in run_cmd with input from filename.
197 - create a json coder object when none is given in write direction
198 to reduce dependency on JSON.
199
2005.1 Tue Aug 11 03:17:32 CEST 2009
201 - tcp_connect now reports the correct error in $!, not an unrelated
202 one (was broken since 4.91).
203 - AE::Handle did not properly clear rtimeout/wtimeout watchers
204 when retrying a tcp_connect.
205 - new functions: AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd and close_all_fds_except.
206 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
207
2085.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
209 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
210
2115.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
212 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
213 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
214 in AnyEvent::Handle.
215 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
216 settings.
217 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
218 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
219 exporting the probe function).
220 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
221 code to work around it's watcher limits.
222 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
223 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
224 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
225 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
226 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
227
2284.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
229 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
230 already contains some TLS handshake.
231 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
232 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
233 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
234 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
235 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
236
2374.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
238 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
239 a negative value, so avoid that.
240 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
241 after the condition is already signalled.
242 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
243 data.
244 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
245 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
246 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
247 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
248 any issues).
249 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
250 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
251 by name (not name or number).
252 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
253 only compiling signal code when necessary.
254 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
255 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
256 said future/alternative API.
257 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
258
2594.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
260 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
261 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
262 (analysed by elmex).
263
2644.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
265 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
266 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
267 for errors after every push_write etc.
268 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
269 platforms.
270
2714.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
272 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
273 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
274 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
275 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
276 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
277 tutorial accordingly.
278 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
279
2804.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
281 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
282 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
283 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
284 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
285 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
286 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
287 in IO::Async.
288
2894.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
290 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
291 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
292 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
293 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
294 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
295 documentation.
296 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
297 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
298 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
299 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
300 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
301 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
302
3034.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
304 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
305 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
306 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
307 this trap.
308 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
309 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
310 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
311 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
312 on_read callbacks.
313 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
314
3154.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
316 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
317 callbacks.
318 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
319 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
320 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
321 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
322 Event::Lib.
323 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
324 to rarely fail.
325
3264.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
327 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
328 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
329 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
330 in AnyEvent->io.
331 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
332 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
333 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
334 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
335 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
336 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
337 portable_socketpair.
338 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
339 YMMV.
340
3414.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
342 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
343 uppercase targets.
344 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
345 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
346 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
347 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
348 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
349 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
350 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
351 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
352 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
353 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
354 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
355 in the common case.
356 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
357 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
358 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
359 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
360 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
361 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
362 from the constructor.
363 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
364 then fall back to JSON.
365 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
366 and because it was documented that way.
367
3684.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
369 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
370 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
371
3724.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
373 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
374 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
375 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
376 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
377 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
378 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
379 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
380 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
381 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
382
3834.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
384 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
385 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
386 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
387 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
388 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
389
3904.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
391 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
392 and set it on the default resolver.
393 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
394 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
395 when running in tainted mode.
396 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
397
3984.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
399 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
400
4014.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
402 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
403 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
404 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
405 destructors.
406 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
407 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
408 implementation.
409 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
410 for cosmetic reasons.
411
4124.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
413 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
414 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
415 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
416 - sped up Tk timer handling.
417 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
418 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
419 - fix Qt timers without interval.
420 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
421
4224.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
423 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
424 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
425 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
426
4274.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
428 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
429 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
430 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
431 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
432
4334.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
434 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
435 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
436 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
437 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
438 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
439 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
440 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
441 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
442 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
443 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
444 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
445
4464.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
447 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
448 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
449 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
450 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
451 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
452 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
453 backend.
454 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
455
4564.331 Tue Jan 6 21:07:25 CET 2009
457 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
458 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
459 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
460 (AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe).
461 - new function: AnyEvent::Util::portable_socketpair.
462 - take advantage of the Guard module if it exists.
463
4644.33 Fri Nov 21 02:35:40 CET 2008
465 - AnyEvent::Strict did errornously flag a fileno of 0 as
466 illegal.
467 - reduce memory usage and slightly speed up the pure perl backend
468 by only storing the file descriptor, not the file handle.
469 - add missing autocork method to AnyEvent::Handle (reported
470 by Adam Rosenstein).
471 - AnyEvent::DNS->resolve errornously documented an $rcode result
472 argument, but there isn't (spotted by Henrik Krohns).
473 - the naked truth about Tk - it's basically unmaintained.
474
4754.32 Mon Nov 3 22:46:32 CET 2008
476 - fix AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr to properly support
477 unix sockets again and choose a proper default for
478 the socket type.
479 - fix call to resolve_sockaddr in tcp_connect.
480
4814.31 Thu Oct 30 04:41:48 CET 2008
482 - implemented AnyEvent::Handle->destroy method.
483 - hint about unexpected effects in TLS mode.
484 - speed up AnyEvent::Impl::Perl by using more arrays
485 instead of hashes without the slightest loss of readability :)
486 - work around a perl argument refcounting bug.
487 - with some perl patches applied, AnyEvent now seems leak-free.
488
4894.3 Fri Oct 3 09:18:43 CEST 2008
490 - AnyEvent will now install a no-op signal handler for SIGPIPE,
491 unless one has been installed already.
492 - warn about not loaidng AnyEvent::Impl::POE early enough
493 (patch by Adam Rosenstein).
494 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle.
495 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
496 client would first wait for some data by the server and
497 otherwise hang. (reported and analysed in an absolutely
498 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
499 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
500 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
501 (reported and analysed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
502 Rosenstein).
503 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
504 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
505 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
506 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
507 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
508 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
509 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
510 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
511 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
512 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
513 now, more to come, though.
514 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
515
5164.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
517 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
518 no trace events.
519 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
520 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
521 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
522 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
523 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
524 Time::HiRes).
525
5264.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
527 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
528 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
529
5304.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
531 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
532 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
533 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
534 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
535
5364.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
537 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
538 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
539 perls without resource leaks or worse).
540
5414.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
542 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
543 the callback.
544 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
545 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
546 eol marker.
547 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
548 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
549 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
550
5514.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
552 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
553 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
554 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
555 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
556 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
557
5584.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
559 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
560 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
561 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
562 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
563 unusable way.
564 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
565 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
566 K. Sharifulin).
567
5684.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
569 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
570 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
571 be delayed under some circumstances.
572 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
573 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
574 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
575 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
576 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
577 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
578
5794.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
580 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
581 assumption that all data could be written before read
582 (reported by Jim Razmus).
583
5844.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
585 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
586 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
587 implementation (also affected child watchers).
588 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
589
5904.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
591 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
592 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
593 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
594
5954.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
596 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
597 works.
598
5994.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
600 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
601 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
602 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
603 for AnyEvent::Handle.
604 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
605 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
606
6074.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
608 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
609 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
610 executing the guard block as warnings.
611 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
612
6134.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
614 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
615 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
616 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
617 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
618 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
619 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
620 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
621 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
622 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
623 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
624 enter an endless loop.
625 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
626 busy again after idling.
627 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
628 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
629 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
630 (hopefully).
631 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
632 away any time.
633
6344.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
635 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
636 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
637 - allow more options in on_error.
638
6394.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
640 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
641 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
642 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
643 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
644 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
645 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
646 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
647 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
648 rfc 2782.
649 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
650 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
651 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
652 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
653 could die. this has been fixed.
654 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
655 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
656 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
657 for resolver class.
658 - update version numbers in all modules.
659
6604.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
661 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
662 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
663 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
664 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
665 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
666 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
667 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
668 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
669 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
670 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
671 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
672 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
673 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
674 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
675 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
676 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
677 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
678 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
679 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
680 but EV also works around this).
681 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
682 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
683 vs. callback arguments.
684 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
685
6864.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
687 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
688 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
689 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
690 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
691
